Actually we did not evolve from Apes...
We are apes.
Whoever told you that stuff is simply a liar, likely another "Liar for Jesus."
All us Apes evolved from something that was not yet Ape, so the Chimp and the Gorilla, the Human and the Bonobo, Jesus and the Orangutan are all equally evolved, equally Ape.

Re: Actually ...
Well, I would say that the common ancestor somewhere back there was a primate, but today's apes, humans, chimps, gorillas, bonobos and Jesus are something different. Would it make you feel better if I said "Not a modern ape?"

You might want to look at One evolving species vs speciation..

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Re: where to go?
Isn't that what the peer committee is for to approve papers based on its findings that support other facts?
Not at all.
Peer review just tests that the particular paper conforms to the methods of science. The conclusion of any paper may well be totally false (that gets checked later when others examine the idea presented and try to duplicate the results or conclusions).

Re: where to go?
The conclusion is that no one really knows and genetics is not helping preconceived logical conclusions to explain the tree of life. In fact, putting the pieces of the puzzle together is proving impossible to do.
Nonsense. There are things we don't know yet but we know more and more everyday, and there is no indication that the puzzle is impossible to do.
Hopefully when the genetic sequence is done for a large portion of the biota on the planet, new models can used to replace existing ones that are more accurate. DNA dating right now doesn't match up to fossil dating.
Well, the goal in science is to always move towards more accurate, but when you say "DNA dating right now doesn't match up to fossil dating" I have no clue what you are talking about.
Similar appearance in life forms that were assigned the same name to identify them are proving no relationship at all in the DNA results.
You totally lost me there too.
[qas]Genetics is creating an impression of science that they do not know what they are talking about when it comes to life.[/qs]
See above.
